Reforming public healthcare with AI integration
Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis (far left) speaks at the Ygeiamou conference in Athens on Wednesday, where Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis emphasized his government’s commitment to enhancing the Greek public health system with the aid of artificial intelligence (AI). Addressing attendees, Mitsotakis acknowledged the chronic challenges burdening the National Healthcare System (ESY), yet underscored his administration’s measures to revamp the system. AI, he stressed, presents an opportunity for Greece to narrow the gap with, or even outpace, countries boasting more advanced healthcare systems. “AI relies on data; therefore, starting from initiatives such as the myhealth app and the establishment of a comprehensive medical record, it is crucial to automate procedures within hospitals in order to facilitate digital information exchange,” he said.
